Mainzer Carneval-Verein called "MCV" Vintage Carneval Horses

Hello,
in Germany in many towns in Februar they celebrate the fifth season called "Carneval".
In the town Mainz they show a big parade with many different groups or members.
Some of the groups have special horses which could resist the big noise of music and screaming spectators.
This horses are trained to resist this situations.
The society MCV sells every year some "Zugplaketten" donations. And so 1972, 1973 and 1995 the MCV sells this Horses in different colors (white, brown and black) and different horseman.
The scale of the horses are near 1:32! See brown MCV horses, grey Breyer horse, white BULLY Circus horse and white MCV horse.
Benno.

Wonderful horses!

That is really interesting. The only thing I knew about Mainz was that the city has a fantastic cathedral.
Zugplaketten is an object we buy in exchange for a donnation for the promotor of the event?
So these figures work as souvenirs of the Rosenmontag parade, I guess. I love figures with good stories to tell.

I love STS travel agency

Last evening I didn't know anything about Mainz, its carnaval, its wonderful cathedral, its beautiful old streets and incredible horses... I even didn't know Mainz is 5 hours driving from me.
There so many beautiful cities in the world, one more to my incredibly long wishlist.

Thank you Benno
